Often times I face the difficulty of not being able to save all my results from my R console to a file to refer back to it later. For this reason I created a package called 'checkpoints' to be able to save all the R script input as well as the console output. This package will be able to export the input and output into a document and will be updated each time you run or rerun a code. This document will also save a timestamp letting you know the exact time it was updated. I first started off by defining an object called my_function to log the console outputs into the log file. Then I created a logger function that takes two arguments: Msg(the message to log) and a file_name (the name of the log file). Inside the function, we use the cat function to append the message to the log file, along with the current date and time. I then created an on.Load function that sets the default log file name. I also created a sink function that saves the script and its console output to a file. I then created a Retrieving file that uses the getOption function to access the log file from your package. Overall this package would be very helpful to anyone trying to save their work from their console output while coding.

 I felt that Markdown was pretty simple on R studio as it lays out the format for you when you select the "R markdown" option. I used the existing R data set cars to get the data as well as create a plot from the data. The plot was a scatter plot that compared the distance vs the speed. However, I need to explore more of the different Markdown features in order to be more comfortable with it.

  Often times I face the difficulty of not being able to save all my  results from my R console to a file to refer back to it later. However, with my  new package "checkpoint",  it will be able to save the code and all the results from the consol  into a file and will be able to update the results for each line of code  incase you want to edit it and rerun it. This will help me really keep track of my results in one location without it being disorganized. https://github.com/aishwaryashiv10/Lis6371/blob/08a989e95e6e79ff1c97950fef1e3f7fb45b6de3/Module%2010%20Assignment.R

The syntax was wrong with the alignment of certain brackets and parentheses. I then realized that ...
